Contacts & information for Alumni going to the UK for workProvided by Alumni for Alumni - QUT takes no responsibility for information provided AccommodationIf going to London where most of the work is, stay close to work as the travel can be hell in peak hour. There is a great difference between rentals costs based on area so budget probably will dictate. Also be aware the travel routes are generally directed out from the city - the links between suburbs is average at best. Most expensive areas to live in are the West and South West. They are nice leafy suburbs close to the West End theatre district, but they are a considerable tube ride from the CBD (called 'the city' over here). Stay clear of Brixton, Stockwell and Elephant & Castle. Many Aussies go to Shepherd's Bush or Notting Hill which are quite nice areas with easy access to work via the central line. Bank AccountsTo get a bank account opened can be quite difficult. You will need to show evidence of employment such as pay slips or a referral letter from a recruitment agency and proof of residence in the form of a bill/lease/statement, take along your passport and bring a reference from your bank in Australia. Alternatively, get a bank account opened before you get here by going to an international bank, in Brisbane. TransportationTransport
